Some of these volumes had newer indexing and transcriptions done for them by the Church. There are some done in the mid 1800s, some around 1908-1930s. These are really nice, but as with all things re-written, there are errors, and it is best to look at the original, as well.

Some of these volumes have no index, others have as many as three. For those that have the newer index and transcriptions, you can find the original entry in those volumes that have no index at all. Just narrow down your way through the dates in a volume that you have found in the newer transcription.

I hope this makes your research a bit less frustrating. I have had extraordinary fortune with this set of documents and I hope you will have the same.

Oh, and just to keep life interesting, every once in a while, you may find a missing page or two, where of course one of your ancestors should be, and sometimes several years will be gone. There are a lot of pages duplicated because of crooked copying, so account for that on your page numbers. Don't think I am complaining, as this has been a gold mine of information for me, and am surprised some of these records are in such good condition for their years! Thank you Family Search for making them available!I will post the remainder of my info in responses to this.

Battesimi/Baptisms These are generally alphabetized by the father's First name. Father and mother, then child, then page.There are a couple of books that decided to experiment? with turning some of the entries around, (child, then father, mother, page), but they are few.

Morti/DeathsThese are alphabetized by decedent's First name. But, in the case of women, it may follow with their maiden name or, if they were widowed, by their husband's surname. So, check all possibilities. They may also be shown with their father/parents, as in the case of children. Beware of 2nd marriages. You may find a name that fits the time frame, but shows another spouse. Check it out, as most of the time the record will show a previous spouse. 1648-1700 No index 1701-1726 Index in front 1726-1751 Index in front and @ Img 188 1735-1754 Mostly index 1751-1783 Index in front and @ Imgs 230-298 and 667-739 1754-1758 No index 1770-1786 Index in front (some sort of acct'g pages in back) 1782-1795 No index 1786-1837 Index in front and @ Img 316-336 and 546 @450 are more ?acct'g entries 1795-1813 Index in front and @ Img 374("I"s) 1813-1844 Index in front and @ Img 137 1837-1846 No index and appears to be babies and youth 1845-1850 Index in front 1847-1884 Index in front and @ Img 181 1849-1865 No index 1865-1892 Index in front and @ Img 252 1884-1910 Index in front (starts with I and then on to the rest) and @ Img 128 and 234 1892-1911 Index in front and @ Img 183 and 227

Investigative and genealogical research pertaining to adopted ancestors or those ancestors born outside marriage presents particular challenges. While each case is unique, certain generalities can be considered based upon the nature of social conditions, as well as available records. For the most pa...
